Yes and now I'll swim ashore
For I must make it
Although I'm up to my neck
In high muddy water
Now the water's deep and wide
Can't hold out long this way
If I could spend a time
Perhaps I'd find a way
So now I'll swim ashore
For I must make it
Although I'm up to my neck
In high muddy water
Now I see the distance stir
And I hear reckless sound
And something seems to say
Well, I'm bound for higher ground
So now I'll swim ashore
For I must make it
Although I'm up to my neck
In high muddy water
Now the sun has risen late
But I'm safe at last my friend
Deep water was my pain
But now I've reached the end
Yes now I'll swim ashore
And I know I'll make it
Although I'm up to my neck
In high muddy water
